DELRAND RESOURCES ANNOUNCES PROPOSED CHANGE OF BUSINESS AND CONCURRENT PRIVATE
PLACEMENT

/NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE
SERVICES/

TORONTO, CANADA September 15, 2014 /CNW/ - Delrand Resources Limited (Delrand) (TSX: DRN;
JSE: DRN) announced today it has entered into a share exchange agreement (the Exchange
Agreement) pursuant to which Delrand has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of
VoiceTrust Holding Inc. (VoiceTrust), a privately-held global provider of voice biometrics solutions
based in Toronto, from VoiceTrust Holding B.V., an indirect subsidiary of Ramphastos Participaties
Coöperatief U.A. ("Ramphastos Investments"). Delrand will acquire VoiceTrust for aggregate
consideration of CDN$27,000,000 to be paid by the issuance of 36,000,000 common shares in the
capital of Delrand subject to adjustment in certain circumstances (the Acquisition). Concurrently
with the closing of the Acquisition, Delrand proposes to complete a private placement of common
shares in the capital of Delrand for net subscription proceeds of no less than CDN$15,000,000 (the
Private Placement and, together with the Acquisition, the Transactions).

The Acquisition constitutes a "change of business" within the meaning of the policies of the Toronto
Stock Exchange (the Exchange) and, accordingly, Delrand will apply to the Exchange for acceptance
of the Acquisition. Delrand will also apply to the Exchange for acceptance of the Private Placement.
The net proceeds of the Private Placement are intended to be used to fund the operations of
VoiceTrust following closing.

Additionally, subject to approval by Delrand's shareholders, Delrand proposes to dispose of its
existing assets to an arm's length purchaser (the Asset Disposition) concurrently with the completion
of the Transactions.

Contemporaneously with the completion of the Transactions, Alan Brousseau will be appointed as
Chief Executive Officer of Delrand, and Edward F. Escubedo will be appointed as Chief Operations
Officer of Delrand. Delrand anticipates that its current officers and directors, with the exception of
Arnold Kondrat who will continue as a director, will resign upon completion of the Transactions and
Alan Brousseau, Bermard Crotty, Ronald Meersschaert and Renier Lemmens will be appointed as
directors of Delrand. Biographies for Messrs. Brousseau, Escubedo, Crotty, Meersschaert and
Lemmens are provided below.

Completion of the Transactions is subject to a number of conditions, including contemporaneous
closing of the Acquisition and the Private Placement, Exchange acceptance, the approval of
Delrand's shareholders of the Transactions in accordance with the policies of the Exchange and
other customary conditions. The Acquisition is also conditional upon Delrand's shareholders
approving the Asset Disposition and Delrand completing the Asset Disposition in accordance with
applicable laws and the rules of the Exchange. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver (where
permitted) of all applicable conditions, it is anticipated that the closing of the Transactions and the
Asset Disposition will occur in late 2014. At the shareholder meeting to be called to consider the
Transactions, Delrand also intends to seek shareholder approval of a reduction of its stated capital
and of a change of its name to "VoiceTrust Inc." or such other name as may be approved by the
applicable regulatory authorities. Delrand intends to seek an exemption from the Exchange's
sponsorship requirements in connection with the Acquisition. If the Exchange does not grant an
exemption, completion of the Transactions will also be conditional upon Delrand obtaining a
sponsorship report from a qualified brokerage firm satisfactory to the Exchange.

The common shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a hold period
expiring four months and one day after closing of the Private Placement. The common shares issued
as consideration for the Acquisition will be subject to a voluntary lock-up for 12 months after the
closing, and such shares may be subject to additional escrow in accordance with the policies of the
Exchange. All of the terms and conditions of the Acquisition are set forth in the Exchange
Agreement, a copy of which will be available under Delrand's profile at www.sedar.com. Additional
information regarding the Transactions and the businesses of Delrand and VoiceTrust will be
included in an information circular to be prepared by Delrand in accordance with the policies of the
Exchange and applicable securities laws, a copy of which will also be available under Delrand's
profile at www.sedar.com when issued.
